I have a temp of 37 degrees. oximeter says between 95 and 98. blood pressure is up and down. currently 151/83... is it time to go to hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not needed: Normal Temperature, Normal pulse Oximeter. Blood pressure borderline high. Talk to your regular GP about the blood pressure and treat other symptoms with fever reducers/pain relievers, nasal decongestants and cough suppressants. Go to hospital for difficulty breathing, pulse Oximeter less than 93%, persistent chest pain, new onset confusion or lethargy.
